The WHERE IS THAT REINFORCEMENS STALIN SENT MONTHES AGO?

Any way, on the far East front, nothing happened as the remainning survivors walks final road to the nearest city pasting a few defense the local put up.

In Finland(correct? or not?) The capital of Helsinki again subjected to heavy bombardments by plane and naval shipyard airfield citzens are killed and destoryed. Then 2 Inf. Corp and one T-34 Corp charged down the street and routed the defenders killing 2 Fortress Div and 1 Inf. Div and captured Helsinki.

Near Baku, planes and the heavy artillery that change hands at least three times fires upon the upcoming attackes and an Reinforcments army and a T-34s attacks the remaining forces and routing them. while another T034 attacks a wounded Panzer Div and destroying.

the results are 1 Inf Crop KIA and 2 Panzer Div KIA

Japan turn summary:
- CW units near Calcutta eliminated. No losses for NI armies.
- roads cut near Madras by planes
- Chungking bombarded. P40 destroyed on ground. Lost 1 dive bmb.

By the way, why is Vancouver a Chinese city? It's really a cheesy tactic to keep the Chinese alive like this.

 

[botman]

We traded it a few turns ago.

I don't really have anything wrong with a government in exile, but of course, I would say that.

What do the others think? I'll give it up if it's deemed cheap.

 

[Luthor_Saxburg]

I'll give it up if it's deemed cheap.

Cheap it was... as I gave it up for free!!!

- Cities can be given\exchanged freely between allies, but they must be empty when giving the city. By other words, no troops teleport is permitted!.

Unlikely city flipping (which was not in the rules so was a "gray" area) this rule was included from the start in the rules so I didn't see a problem with it.

But I'd like to hear the others opinions, specially Semental.

Thanks, I was trying to avoid the issue. Are we just playing a regular civ game or a historical re-creation game? I would expect in a "normal" game, that the flipping would be OK (fair or not) and swapping a city keep a civ in the game not OK but not necessarily banned either. As a re-creation, I cannot see the flipping being viable (troops would hold a city regardless of the propaganda unless there were no troops there). As a government in exile argument for gifting a city, I suppose I can live with that. But, it would have been nice to have the conversation when we started rather than now. Would it be OK to have Italy get a Chinese city to keep them in the game and points on the board? If so then it is fine with me.

Maybe we should designate an impartial arbiteur of the rules.

 

[botman]

How about we ask Eric to decide?

 

[semental]

yes, that would be good.

 

[semental]

On the other hand, let's not. Play on.

 

[Luthor_Saxburg]

Would it be OK to have Italy get a Chinese city to keep them in the game and points on the board?

In my opinion, yes.

I see it more from a historical perspective. Germany did save the Italian fascist government from falling the first time, there was a lot of exiled Governments during the German ocupation, etc, etc.

Regardless of the decision, we should move forward.

[semental]

I have the turn and should play it later.
